1. My phone bill, even with long distance, is cheaper than any cell phone plans.2. I don't need to get a new phone all the time, and wastefully dispose of the old one.3. I can't leave my phone anywhere.4. No one can steal my phone.5. There are no complicated, changing rates and rules.6. No one can judge my ring tone.7. I don't need to remember to turn my phone off.8. I can't ever be that obnoxious person on their cell phone in a public place.9. It's very easy for me to be unreachable.10. I occasionally need to depend on the kindness of strangers.

Bad Things About Not Owning a Cell Phone

1. I occasionally need to depend on the kindness of strangers.2. It's very easy for me to be unreachable.3. I sometimes experience brief inconveniences.4. I can't talk on the phone while driving - oh wait, that's a good thing.5. Things are getting more difficult with payphones going extinct.

I created this image using the Flickr web app Mosaickr. It's a photo of a squirrel, created out of 300 other photos of squirrels! Isn't modern technology amazing? It looks a lot better if you back up from the computer a few feet and look at it.

I've got to admit there are a lot of cool things you can do on Flickr. Since I still use film for my photos though, I don't have a lot of personal ones to add.

To complete my requirement:I find Habit 2 (Accept responsibility for your own learning) the hardest, because I usually don't follow through on my ideas to learn something new and semi-difficult unless I'm somewhat forced to. For example, I think it's important fot everyone in the U.S. to learn Spanish, but I am probably not going to be motivated enough to learn Spanish on my own unless I really have to for my job or another reason.

Well Habit 7 1/2 is the easiest. I'm also good at Habit 4 (Have confidence in yourself...)
